Its control is still largely based on the use of synthetic fungicide sprayings at predetermined intervals, which often produces negative residues in grapes and wines that may affect the environment and/or human health. To rationalize BBR management, disease risk indicators were developed and evaluated in a set of field experiments carried out between 2010 and 2019 in France and Chile. Key indicators include early grapevine vegetative growth, i.e. ground-based normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), and the potential berry susceptibility to Botrytis cinerea, which is driven by tannin content in the skin. Under these contrasting weather and cropping conditions, regression analyses, including weather information, showed a highly significant positive correlation between the early NDVI, measured at berry pea size stage, and BBR incidence or severity at harvest, whereas the opposite was demonstrated for tannin content in the berry skin measured at an early herbaceous fruit stage. The exponential relationship between the final disease severity and the early NDVI allowed us to identify a possible threshold NDVI value, i.e. between 0.5 and 0.6, under which the BBR severity should be lower or close to 5% at harvest (BBR tolerance threshold for wine quality).
